bb got wet
It was sitting next to a glass of water and I spilt maybe 3 tablespoons on my 8800. I wiped it off and I saw the trackball and a few keys didn't work so I powered it off, took it apart and placed it on my cable box to dry. At this point, is there anything else I can do? any hope for it? if I still have problems with the trackball, can I order a replacement part?

You can open up the trackball cover and take the ball out.

Perhaps it just needs a good cleaning and some more time to dry.

Its not about the battery getting wet (well it is important), but taking out the battery is to make sure that the cell phone does not have power at all and any water would not cause any short circuit that might damage the phone.
